Here ye go.
After having a not-so-good night sleep, I spent part of the morning collapsed on the couch while my mom started to leave to clean up her classroom (I'm 16, and she's a teacher. Just so you don't think I'm a middle-aged balding guy whom lives with his mom, like I dunno.... Alan Colmes?). The TV was still on the Today Show, and for a half hour, I had to watch a 45 minute segment on make-up, due to lack of energy, from lack of sleep. When I got the energy, I changed the channel to the MSNBC News Channel, having the feeling the last 45 minutes was a similar experience that the inmates in Gitmo had to endure. As I reached the channel, I fell back on the couch, ready to fall asleep. The news I heard was enough to wake me up. It went something like the following paragraph from an MSNBC Article.
"Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively to a schedule which included a broad pullout of combat forces by the end of 2011 with a residual U.S. force remaining behind to continue training and advising the Iraqi security forces."

...A schedule?
Now, I don't need a frickin' Webster's Dictionary to find that that particular schedule is synonymous with, you guessed it, a time table.
So, good friends, 4,142 casualties and $800 billion dollars later, has the Bush Administration finally... dare I say it... getting a clue? Well, in my opinion, yes and no. They realize that the Iraq War has been a failure in every sense of the word (I don't give a flying fuck about progress on the ground). People there hate us, the world is starting to agree with that hate, and we've lost so much money to the war (and to other wastes of time and blood and treasure), I'll be a grandparent when the economic damage the Monkeys running this administration caused is finally reversed. They realized this, FINALLY. However, they're too proud (or stubborn) to submit to the will of the Masses and pull out. So, what do they do? They're working to make a withdrawal, a long, slow, three-year long withdrawal. Why is it so slow? Why not Obama's plan of getting out in 14 months or so?
Well, let me tell you.
The Bush Administration, despite it being the biggest pile of shit that was ever shat in Washington, DC, is extremely proud. It's arrogant, stubborn, and proud. Curious George, our president, finally has seen that the Iraq War was a catastrophe; however, he doesn't want to admit he was wrong. So, he decided to make up a few more political terms such as "Time Horizons" to cover up what's really being done (poorly, I might add), and negotiated with the Iraqis to get the Troops out in a slow and cumbersome manner, by the year 2011. And since he's praying for McCain to win, and that this plan is to be enacted based on "Conditions on the Ground", a hypothetical President McCain may do what? Extend the amount of time to how long he wishes. A hundred years maybe?
So, if McCain is elected, what will he do? Extend the damn time until we can leave as long as he wants while keeping the agreement itself as an extendable timeline for withdrawal as a propaganda piece for the 2012 election.
Elect Obama or kill me now. Obama will withdraw our troops, McCain won't, but make it look like there's a slim possibility, so he can win a 2012 election, if he lives that long.
Well, I hope this is is recieved as well as it sounded in my head. Again, I had four hours of sleep; give meh a break.
